Shipwreck Dreams

The Bahamas, 2021

Always the first on the scene of a sunken vessel, oceanic whitetip sharks or “shipwreck sharks” oversee the growth of entire ecosystems blossoming from the derelict ruins of the past. They are the bold investigators of the seafloor, and living witnesses to our ocean’s ability for making use of everything we lose and discard. These curious sharks are completely pelagic, preferring the open blue as opposed to the coasts. They have gone from being one of the most abundant predators on the planet to know only 10% of their population remaining.
